Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:35:34 GMT

The Missouri Senate on Tuesday night fell into an intramural fight among Republicans over whether to use the budget to put limits on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in state government.The heated argument continued over nearly six hours before a bipartisan vote defeated an amendment from Sen. Denny Hoskins that would have banned diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging initiatives in funding for public schools.After the defeat, several Republicans voiced opposition to budget increases for the coming year, arguing that it was a violation of conservative principles.

St. Louis has also dropped its last four without the 20-year-old rookie in the starting lineup, leaving many fans wondering whether there's something more behind the decision. Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told several media members Tuesday, including MLB.com's John Denton and The ...
